And It seems as though

I'm on my own

And time transcends, oh!

And it seems I speak

like waters leak

And I'm losing friends, oh!
Bm G G/F# Em
And there'll be coins on my eyes
Bm G G/F# Em
There'll be coins on my eyes
G
To pay Charon
before I let you near my son

And I don't feel well
G/F# Em
oh, couldn't you tell,
G A
from the way I touch my face?

My thoughts are low
G/F# Em
And I cannot grow

In this small space, oh!

But there'll be coins on my eyes

There'll be coins on my eyes

To pay Charon,
before I let you near my son

And I ain't no,
And I ain't no,
And I ain't no Hercules
I ain't no Hercules
